well hurt leads to not the greatest amount of natural trusting of others. Plus Silver did kinda already lie about not hurting her when she fell on her head. Not her fault I know just kinda happened. Several things I can speculate her that probably aren’t too accurate right now.

Most likely of which is: doesn’t have a natural trusting personality, not everyone trusts everyone else as soon as they meet them. Or maybe language barrier could come into play depending on the language she speaks.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out, especially if she manages to get outside and happens to see darrik as a gold fox and quinn. The expression on her face in the third panel might not be so much out of fear. Instead i think that she might have finally realized that silver, is well, a silver fox, and is probably surprised by the appearance of one.

If I remember right, Quinn said that’s a fox. Well, it’s a very different fox from any others we’ve seen so far. It looks like a fennec fox to me…I wonder where it falls in the gold/silver/black/white/blue fox hierarchy…

I love the art of this comic, but I’m finding the current style of eyes-without-pupils a little disconcerting. ^^;;

From the brows, it’s fear, or the ilk. And I agree that a fox saying that line prolly awakens very bad memories.

As for character VS cameo, it’d be one hell of a cameo, given the lead up. So, yeah, doubtful.

Also, shading on that lantern looks like a CG 3D render. o.O Contrast does interesting things for casting the rest of the strip’s art in a new light, but that might be sleep deprivation talking. Still a little jarring at first.

SPOILER (maybe), don’t read if you want to uncover this details while reading the comic.

Citing the shivae wiki: The arctic fox and the fennec are seperate species. There are arctic fox which mingle with the northerner column cities and fennecs/desert fox who live primarily in the plains and deserts with the cheetahs. Both are usually very nomadic, the desert variation MUCH more than the northerners. They do not recognize the Vixinte royalty as their ruling class. They recognize no-one. They are capable of interbreeding with regular fox though.
